No pain no gain

The idiot ate a bowl of radishes and was obviously not full, but he didn't say anything, just stared straight at the radish.

Da Zhuang sighed, took out another half bowl, and put it in front of the fool.The fool looked at it, but instead became confused, seeing that the bowl in front of him couldn't fit his chopsticks.

Da Zhuang talked for a long time, and the fool realized that this was also for him to eat, and moved his chopsticks happily.Da Zhuang looked at the situation and thought it was a bit strange, he asked the fool a few words, and he even guessed and understood. The fool doesn't know how to use chopsticks. After everyone had finished eating, the idiot only ate more than half of the bowl, and he didn't know how much of it was in his mouth. Since he can remember, he has never added more rice!

When the idiot finished eating, Da Zhuang asked Er Zhuang to look at the kitchen, and he personally sent the idiot home. Originally, he planned to tell his family about the idiot's situation, but when he saw the smelly look of Wu's daughter-in-law With a stinky face, he didn't even ask about the wound on the fool's forehead, so he probably wouldn't be patient to listen to it. Even if he knew, he couldn't spend time on the fool. Da Zhuang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. .

After returning home, Da Zhuang started cooking, and asked Er Zhuang to call the uncle’s family over for dinner, and then everything went on as usual. The fool's incident was confirmed.

On New Year's Eve, I went to the place where my parents were buried together with my uncle to burn incense and paper, and lit a small homemade lantern in front of the grave. After buying paper money, incense, candles and other things, nothing went wrong.

"Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, go to Uncle's house to watch the New Year together!" The uncle suggested on the way back to the village.

San Niuer and the twins were still young, and it was extremely cold outside. Da Zhuang was afraid of freezing the younger ones, so he asked Da Niuer to take care of them at home, and only himself and Er Zhuang came over to offer incense to their parents.

"No, it's the same for a large group of us staying at home to watch the New Year's Eve." Da Zhuang refused gently.

The middle-aged man thought of his mother-in-law's face, and suppressed the idea of ​​continuing to persuade.

The family was full of children, and when it was over, a small hanging firecracker was set off, and each of them ate a bowl of dumplings. Da Zhuang arranged for everyone to sleep, and did not insist on watching until dawn.

The next morning, I was woken up by the scattered sound of firecrackers outside. It should be that some children who got up early were already playing with firecrackers.

At this time, the genius was bright, Er Zhuang and Yi Gulu got up, and wanted to run outside while putting on their clothes. Da Zhuang bought him dozens of firecrackers when he went to the market last time. He finally looked forward to the New Year. I couldn't even wait to get dressed.

"Er Zhuang, wait a moment, take the eldest girl and the second girl to pay New Year's greetings first!" Da Zhuang sat up, called Er Zhuang, and instructed while getting dressed.

Er Zhuang muttered, thinking that on the day of the 29th, he had already made his elder brother angry because he hurt the fool, so he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment, so he had to hold back his itch and wait for the eldest girl and the second girl to get dressed Combing your hair, fortunately, going to various households to pay New Year's greetings is also a very interesting thing, and you can get all kinds of snacks!

After sending Er Zhuang and the others away, Da Zhuang quickly set out two or three meals that he had prepared before San Niuer and the twins woke up, as well as hot water and teacups.

Those kinds of food are all homemade. One is steamed steamed buns with thick noodles, then cut into slices, dried, and fried with a small amount of salt. It is an excellent snack. In fact, it should be eaten with Deep-fried is better, but there is no such condition here. The other is fried hard beans. This smells very fragrant and tastes good, but you can’t eat too much. There are also various dried vegetables, steamed After they are cooked, let them dry in the sun for a while, and then put them out to make up the number.

Da Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief as the adults and children passed by in the village. It was already bright outside, but the sky was still gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow.

The eldest girl and the second girl came back with a bag full of all kinds of snacks. Er Zhuang set off firecrackers with some little boys outside, but did not come back. For the Chinese New Year, Da Zhuang ignored him and burned some Noodle soup, served with dried vegetables and stewed pork lung for breakfast.

Let Er Zhuang do all the New Year's greetings. Da Zhuang, who is already in his twenties, doesn't care about firecrackers. On the first day of the new year, he is almost free as usual. Er and San Niuer looked at the twins in the room, talking and laughing while eating snacks.

There were scattered sound of firecrackers outside, Da Zhuang stared at the work in his hand, a little dazzled, raised his head to look outside, rested his eyes, unexpectedly met a pair of black eyes.

The idiot huddled outside the fence and looked in. Da Zhuang frowned, put down the half-woven basket in his hand, walked over and opened the gate of the yard.

The idiot didn't even wait to be greeted, and entered the door tremblingly.

Looking at the fool, Da Zhuang seemed to be terrified. His whole body shrank and trembled, his lips turned white, and he couldn't even speak because of trembling.

Da Zhuang closed the gate of the yard, pulled the fool in, brought hot water out first, and washed his hands and face. Because the fool couldn't answer the question, Da Zhuang moved a small stool and placed it on the bench. Next to me, let the fool sit for a while, continue to weave the basket by myself, and try to ask the fool after a while. After a long time, the fool calmed down and stammered the answer.

Da Zhuang frowned again. It turned out that there were some bad-hearted children who were specially looking for fun on the idiots, using firecrackers to blow up the idiots, scaring the idiots into hiding and not daring to go home.

Da Zhuang sighed, comforted the idiot a few words, took out a few slices of salt-fried dry steamed buns for the idiot to eat, while weaving baskets, he slowly taught the idiot some common sense, and that was all he could do. Da Zhuang said silently in his heart.

The fool is simple, and after a while, he put the fear in his heart behind him. After eating the steamed buns, he watched Da Zhuang weaving the basket with great interest.

When Da Zhuang saw him, he deliberately slowed down his movements to let the idiot take a closer look. After a long time, the idiot had already started to help under Da Zhuang's instructions, which was no worse than Er Zhuang and the others.

When it was time for lunch, the old lady of the Wu family came over and took the idiot back for lunch, but the idiot was still unwilling to leave, so the old lady's face became serious.

"You go back to eat first, come to play when you have nothing to do in the afternoon!" Da Zhuang persuaded patiently.

Only then did the fool go away reluctantly.
