Young rich peasants

Jujube has been sick for half a month, which is a testament to the old saying, "Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like silk".In the first five days, I had fever repeatedly at night, and in the next ten days, the wind and cold persisted, and I had a headache and runny nose, and my legs became weak after walking a few steps.He was so sick that he still remembered to work, and Lei Shounuo pressed him back into the quilt several times.

Lei Shounuo said, "Take care of your body first, and don't worry about anything else."

After recovering from his illness, Zaozi huddled by the bedside and asked, "I'm not lying, don't want me." Lei Shounuo was just putting down the dried vegetable porridge with minced meat, and said, "I know you're not lying."

Zaozi asked in a daze, "Why?" He was still so angry that day.

Lei Shounuo replied: "The doctor said that you couldn't make a sound because you were stimulated. Now that you can talk, you have recovered. I am too happy to be happy. Don't think about it."

Zaozi asked in his heart, why are you happy?Looking back, it is more convenient and understandable to recruit people to work.Lei Shounuo spread the porridge to cool in another bowl, and then used a small spoon to bring Zaozi to his mouth. Zaozi shrank a bit, but Lei Shounuo smiled instead, and said, "I'm not a big bug , what are you afraid of?"

Jujube smelled the fragrance, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Can I eat this?"

"Why not?" Lei Shounuo was surprised, "Although the meat is only available today, my little dad has given you goose eggs for half a month."

Zaozi was lethargic almost every day, how did he know this, Lei Shounuo didn't talk to him too much, put the spoon into his mouth and fed it.Soon the small pot of porridge was finished, and the dates were stupidly opened their mouths to swallow, and the stomach was as round as a watermelon, and could not move after a full burp.

Lei Shounuo wiped his face and neck with a hot towel, his movements were rough and his skin was red.I have to wipe my body, but Zao Zi avoids it.Lei Shounuo removed the stick-like wrist, insisted on putting his hand into Zaozi's clothes, touched it twice and said, "I don't sweat much, just sit down after eating." Put the quilt on Pack it up.

Zaozi's face was flushed red, she didn't know whether it was just rubbing it or she was ashamed.Lei Shounuo packed his things, came back and sat by the bed and said, "Zaozi, I want to talk to you about something." Zaozi pricked up his ears and nodded.

"When you first came, my little dad and I treated you badly, did you blame us?" Lei Shounuo asked this question, but he also had no idea in his heart.Although the people outside the mountain did not treat Xin Baozi very well, their family was not that kind of person, so it was quite a big deal in their eyes to work on Zaozi like this.

How to say Zaozi, he will be sad when he is particularly tired, but to be honest, he has never resented anyone or blamed anyone. He is content with a place to shelter from the wind and rain and something to fill his stomach.He said what was in his heart.

Lei Shounuo rubbed Zaozi's head with a smile, and said, "That's good, I'll tell you now, there is a reason for instructing you to work like that. Have you met anyone from Lei's family?"

Zaozi said: "...that, the people in the big house?"

Lei Shounuo said: "That's right, that's where it is. The family's surname is Lei, and they are the biggest wealthy businessman in Gaoliang County. The little brother of the county magistrate was greedy for power afterwards, so he insisted that the young father who Ming Media is marrying is a concubine, and let that brother Jinhua be the main wife." He paused, then continued, "After that person became the main wife My little dad made things difficult for me in every possible way. When he was pregnant with me, he used tricks, saying that the child was obtained by a cousin of the same clan. My little dad was almost imprisoned. Fortunately, the truth came out later, but the members of the Lei family have completely died. I hated my little dad, so I drove us two father and son to this deep mountain."

Although Zaozi didn't quite understand the main room and the side room, he could understand Lei Shounuo's story, and he patted Lei Shounuo's head clumsily.Lei Shounuo smiled and said: "When you were sent here, we all thought that the little brother Jinhua asked you to come to us, and that's why we were so harsh on you, in order to see who you really are."

Zaozi quickly said: "I'm not a bad person! It was a man called Matchmaker who picked me up from the river. He asked people to bathe me and wear nice clothes. He also asked that Xilang to send me here. I want You can escape, but you can't escape."

Lei Shounuo frowned sharply and said, "Did you pick it up? Where was your previous home?"

Zaozi nodded silently and said, "I used to live in Dongwan City." "I've never heard of it," Lei Shounuo said, "Who is there at home?"

"There is the dean, and there are many children." Zaozi's eyes were sour, "Everyone is abandoned, and we all live there."

Dean?Could it be a place of fireworks like Yihongyuan?The biggest person in the county is the county magistrate, and the most talkative person in Yihong courtyard is the dean.Lei Shounuo felt more distressed, and said, "What did they force you to do?"

"What's the matter?" Zaozi tried hard to recall, shaking his head and said, "No, the dean treats me very well. My health is not as good as others. I usually do housework and take care of the children. He let others do all the other things... I I want to go back." After speaking, tears fell.

Lei Shounuo hugged him, and patted him gently like the way his little dad comforted him when he was a child.I thought to myself that the dean is still a conscientious person, if such a thin body still suffers from those bleak things, he might really lose it.He said: "I don't know the place you are talking about. Since you have entered my house, you will be a member of my family in the future. I will treat you well. Don't think about the past, live with me well, okay?"

Zaozi wiped away his tears and asked timidly, "Are we going to be a family?" Although he didn't know how he got here, he knew somewhere that he couldn't go back.It's sad, but under the dean's teaching, people have to live wherever they are, and they have to think about the future and don't cling to the past... He has to listen to the dean.

Lei Shounuo replied: "Yes, I like you. When you grow up, I will let you be my first wife, Ada."

Zaozi broke through his tears and said with a smile: "Thank you, I will work hard, I don't understand many things, can you teach me?"

"Haha, why not? You are my new baby, so I will naturally be responsible for teaching you various things." Lei Shounuo was so happy that he picked up Zaozi and walked around the room for half a circle. Zaozi screamed and clung tightly Holding Lei Shounuo's shoulder, he dared not let go.

Sitting back on the bed again, Zaozi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I call you Brother Lei?" "Yes, as you like."

Zaozi continued: "Brother Lei, the main room, the side room, the younger brother, and the new baby, what do these mean?"

Now Lei Shounuo was stunned, "You don't know?" "No one taught me..."

Lei Shounuo thought for a while, and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed. After opening it, there were four cloth bags neatly placed inside. When the flat cloth bags were opened, there were books.Blue cover, yellowish pages.There are only four copies in a cloth bag, which are very thin and old.Zaozi's eyes followed Lei Shounuo's movements, and Lei Shounuo picked up a book very preciously, "This is a book for children's enlightenment, let me tell you about it." Open the first page and start explaining.

The characters in the book are all very complex traditional characters, which are different from the "traditional characters" that Zaozi recognizes. It even has a lot of extra strokes for some simple and traditional characters that are commonly used in the modern world. But for a while, I couldn't recognize them one by one.Since there were also simple pictures inside, he quietly looked at the pictures and listened to the lecture.

This country is called Chen Kingdom, and those who are unable to bear children are called boys (when they grow up, they are called Hanzi), and those who can bear children are called Xiaogezi (when they grow up, they are called brothers), and there are birthmarks on their necks.The first son married by a man is the main house, Ada, and the second wife is the second wife... After getting married, the man is the head of the family; most people call it the head of a certain family and the Ada of a certain family.

From the picture, all the paintings are men, and there may be no women here.Jujube thought.

As for the new baozi, it is the little brother who hugged someone else, usually younger than ten years old or about ten years old, and will be assigned to the child of that family when he grows up.If you are lucky, you can be the main house, and if you are unlucky, you may be the side house. The most desolate thing is that the man of that family refuses to marry him, so he can only be a servant for life.These courts all acquiesced.New Baozi is different from ordinary marriages, no dowry is required, and there is no big ostentation. Good people will have a banquet and give some simple wedding gifts, almost nothing.When they reach the age when they can get married, they have a consummation ceremony, which is the only festive gift.But it all depends on the person, not every new baby has one.

Lei Shounuo's voice was between the boy and the man, a little hoarse, but it was very comfortable to hear.The heads of the two snuggled together unknowingly, Lei Shounuo's mood improved, and he deliberately said more things, for example, the one who gave birth was called Xiao Dae, and the other was called Daddy, and the same name was also used after marriage, In order to distinguish between the two families, a word will be added before the address, which is determined by the elders themselves; when their own brother is married, the elders call the person who is married by the elder brother to be the brother. The person who marries in will be Ah Da Ah Er or Ah San, depending on the order...

After talking all afternoon, Lei Shounuo closed the book and locked it back in the cabinet.Zaozi finally knew some of the customs and habits here, and his heart became much clearer.

Lei Shounuo said: "Our family has always been poor, and it has gotten better in recent years. Although I can't do a big show, I will try my best to give you decent courtesy. You can follow me with peace of mind."

Zaozi feels novelty and a little fear of the things in this place, which are all things and human feelings that he has never known.But when he looked at Lei Shounuo, he could feel at ease. Everyone can say those pleasant words, but the young man in front of him is particularly convincing.

He hugged the quilt and thought for a long time, until the afterglow of the setting sun filled the room.Lei Shounuo was anxious in his heart, but on the surface he was as immobile as a mountain and could sit still.Zaozi was pondering, but in fact, he didn't think about difficult things, Zaozi just thought about things a little slower than others.

Finally, he thought it over and said, "We want to be a family." This is his decision, he wants a family, and wants to form a family with this person, and that's enough.

……

After finishing speaking, Lei Shounuo walked out of the room and explained clearly to Little Daddy Mei, and Little Daddy Mei was also happy.He said with emotion: "How can we say that the good days of our family should be coming."

Lei Shounuo agreed, looking at the smoke curling up in the sky, he said: "It feels good to have one more person in the family."

Mei Xiaodi teased: "It also depends on what kind of people are added, and who this person belongs to." Lei Shounuo touched his nose, "I think it would be nice to have a companion of a similar age."

Little Daddy Mei just laughed, so he didn't say much.
