[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral
Work related
"Well, there are few people who grow them, and they only grow more when the year is bad. It is uncomfortable to eat too much, and it is not elegant." Wen Qiwen is not surprised that Zhang Zirui would ask such a question, because sweet potatoes are eaten by poor people. How can rich people touch such things.
Zhang Zirui nodded. Although sweet potatoes are a good thing, eating too much will cause 'heartburn', acid regurgitation, intestinal discomfort, and abdominal distension, which is really indecent.But sweet potatoes are also sweet and delicious, filling the stomach.He misses the taste of roasted sweet potatoes a little bit. This world is full of aura, and the taste of vegetables and fruits has improved a lot.
In the end, they didn't buy it. This thing is worthless in the village. If you spend this money in the town, it's better to go back to the village and buy some from the people who have planted it.
Walking in and out of the town all morning, Zhang Zirui didn't meet a single acquaintance.The main reason is that the eldest and youngest of the Zhang family stay in the house, and they have been studying at home all the time, and then they are recuperating at home.However, Zhang Zirui felt a lot more relaxed when he couldn't see acquaintances.
The two passed by the study, and Zhang Zirui wanted to buy two medicine books to see if the medicinal materials here were the same as those in the original world.But the high book price made him discouraged.
Wen Qiwen did not ignore Zhang Zirui and took a second look at the study. "Brother Rui, do you want to buy a book?"
"It's nothing, it's just nostalgia, let's go." Zhang Zirui shook his head and continued to walk forward.He knows that the child treats him wholeheartedly, and if he wants to buy books, the child will definitely buy it.But before he can make money, he has to be considerate of children.But this was the first person other than grandpa to treat him so well, and Zhang Zirui also wanted to treat him well.
Wen Qiwen felt that Brother Rui must want to read a book, so he glanced at the study with some hesitation.In the end, he followed Zhang Zirui and left, thinking that he would work hard to earn money to buy books for Ruige in the future.Wen Qiwen is a stubborn child, and he will treat people well with all his heart.Just like being good to family members, there is no turning back.
The town is not big, there are not many shops, and there are not many choices for shopping.So it wouldn't be too much trouble to buy all the things, but for Zhang Zirui at this time, he was still exhausted.They bought a full cart full of things, which were tied up high with ropes before they could barely be pulled down.Uncle A Niu was very surprised that they bought so many things, but he is not a talkative person.
The three of them ate a bowl of noodles each in the town, and then drove the ox cart back to the village slowly.
Back in the village, it is inevitable that someone will see that pile of things.Inevitably, there was a lot of discussion, Zhang Zirui was used to these simple villagers making a fuss, and loved gossip.Totally disrespectful.Wen Qiwen had been talked about too much before, so he didn't bother to pay attention.
After arriving home, Uncle A Niu helped them move their things into the house, took the money and left.
There is only one house in Zhang's house, but the inside of the house is relatively large, separated by wooden boards into two rooms, the inner room is the bedroom, and the outer room is equipped with tables and chairs.At this time, all the things bought back were put on the seat.
The fence of the Zhang family next to the Wen family has now been demolished, and when they returned, all the Wen family brothers came to help.Zhang Zirui took out four candied haws and gave them to the four Wenwu Pingan brothers.In his eyes, Ah Wen and Ah Wu are just children.Even though Ah Wu is a boy and the head of the family, he is only a child in his teens.
"Brother, what is this?" Ping'an's two little bean dings looked at the things in Zhang Zirui's hands and asked curiously.
"This is candied haws, very delicious."
Hearing that it was delicious, they cheered, each took a bunch, and carefully licked it with their small tongues.It was so sweet, the two little guys suddenly smiled and narrowed their eyes.Zhang Zirui felt a little sour, the two children had never even eaten candied haws.
Ah Wen and Ah Wu thought they were grown-ups, and they were embarrassed to pick up the kid's food, and looked at Zhang Zirui with embarrassed faces.The little girl in Wen Qiwu's arms was asleep, otherwise he would have to reach out for it.
"I've bought everything, let's eat." Zhang Zirui stuffed the candied haws into their hands, and when his hands were empty, he took the little girl and held them in his arms.Changing places, the little girl frowned, with a flat mouth that looked like she wanted to cry.
Zhang Zirui quickly patted it lightly, but he didn't dare to hug him.I've heard it said before that children always hold each other upside down and they will form eyes.He didn't know if it was true, but he didn't dare to try.Fortunately, the little girl moved her small body and hugged him, and found the familiar smell and continued to sleep at ease.Zhang Zirui felt that his posture of holding a child became more and more natural, this could be regarded as practicing in advance, so that he can hold his own child in the future.
Thinking of the child's "mother" in the future, his body froze, and he looked at Awen's boyish appearance.Although I know that Shuang'er can have children, I still think it is very mysterious.Ah Wen is still a child, don't think about it.
Ah Wen didn't expect that he could get a bunch, so he pinched the candied haws with some embarrassment. "Save this for my little sister."
"Little sister is teething, it's not good to eat too much sweet, this is for you, eat it." Zhang Zirui knew that he would be like this.
"Brother Rui, what about you?"
Hearing Wen Qiwen's inquiry, the three Wen family brothers looked up at Zhang Zirui, how could they have forgotten that there was no brother-in-law.
"Eat it, I don't like sweets."
So the four brothers sat at the table, happily eating candied haws.Ah Wen and Ah Wu had eaten it when they were young, but the memory is so far away that they almost don't remember it.At this time, I ate candied haws and felt sweeter than I remembered when I was a child.
Zhang Zirui sat on the side holding the child, feeling tired and exhausted.His body is now mostly healed, but his physical strength is still not enough.
Seeing his tired look, Wen Qiwen carefully put away the unfinished candied haws, and quickly made the bed.The inside of the house is cleaned up, as long as the bought bedding is spread out, they bought a set of finished products.The rest had to be done by Wen Qiwen when he was free, after all, the finished product was a bit expensive.
After the bed was made, Zhang Zirui was rushed to rest by Wen Qiwen.Even Ah Wu and Ping An insisted on letting him rest, leaving the family affairs to them.As the head of the family, Zhang Zirui felt embarrassed and wanted to help pack things, but in the end he was defeated by his broken body and went to bed with his younger sister.
When Mrs. Wang heard that the Zhang family had bought a cart full of things, she thought that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.When he rolled his eyes, he didn't know if he could rub something, so he happily ran to Zhang's house.
After entering Zhang's house, she saw that the two brothers of the Wen family were packing up the things they had bought.
At a glance, Mrs. Wang saw that there was a piece of fine cotton cloth on the table, which Wen Qiwen bought to make underwear for the family.Zhang Zirui saw that the Wen family brothers always treated him harshly. They obviously had some money in their hands, but they lived like refugees, and they kept instilling in him the idea of being kind to themselves.Wen Qiwen felt sorry for Zhang Zirui and his younger siblings, so he was willing to buy that piece of muslin cloth.
"Hey, Ah Wen's material is really soft. Your second aunt hasn't worn such a good material yet." Wang stretched out her hand to touch the soft fabric, and a look of greed flashed in her eyes.
When Wen Qiwen saw Mrs. Wang, he secretly regretted that he forgot to fasten the gate of the courtyard. "Second aunt was joking, second uncle is also a shopkeeper, and he has no money to buy it for you."
"It's not easy for our family. How can we have spare money to buy this? Your cousin is about to get married, and the gift money hasn't come yet. Ah Wen, your second aunt and I are not easy, why don't you put Share some of this fabric with me. Otherwise, I probably won’t have the chance to wear such a good fabric in my life. Just treat it as your filial piety to your second aunt.” Mrs. Wang began to cry poorly, but she thought in her heart that the fabric would cost more than a tael of silver. They are really willing.
"Second Aunt, don't go too far, this belongs to the Zhang family, why should you be filial to you." A Wu said, glaring at the shameless Li Shi, and then went forward to bring the fabric.
"You also said that this thing belongs to Zhang's family. I'm not asking you for it. What are you in a hurry for?" Wang shunned, holding the cloth and reluctant to let go.
"Second aunt, you also know that this thing belongs to the Zhang family. As a married couple, how can I honor my mother's aunt with things from my in-law's family?" Wen Qiwen laughed angrily at this greedy second aunt.Seeing her greedy appearance, I just feel disgusted.
"Why can't it work? After all, I'm your elder, so what if you honor me with something?" Wang looked confident, but she also knew in her heart that Wen Qiwen was right.
Zhang Zirui just fell asleep when he was woken up by Wang's sharp voice.Hearing his weird remarks, he couldn't help but touch his forehead.The relatives of the child's family are all strange people who are not seriously ill. He seems to say that the medicine cannot be stopped.Is it because the family's bad genes have been passed on to the eldest and second child of the Wen family, so the good genes can only be passed on to the third child of the Wen family.As for the women who married into Wen's family, it can only be said that the family does not stay in the same family.
In this world, not to mention married twins who have no status, even married daughters will be criticized if they take things to their natal homes, let alone use them to honor their aunts.
"Second aunt of the Wen family, the things of my Zhang family should be filial to the Wen family, but only to my father-in-law and husband and wife. You don't need to be filial to your elders, even if you ask someone to tell you, we are reasonable." Zhang Zirui straightened his clothes, Get out of the room.
"Nephew, you are here." Mrs. Wang looked a little guilty, and Zhang Zirui, who looked cold, said nah.
"If I wasn't here, the only remaining possessions of my Zhang family would be used by the elders of the Wen family as tribute." Without outsiders, Zhang Zirui's words became vicious.
"Brother Rui, I'm sorry." Wen Qiwen felt very embarrassed that this kind of thing always happened to Brother Rui.
"Ah Wen, it's not your fault that the elders are unkind, you've done enough." Zhang Zirui walked to the side of the child, reached out to gently hold his hand, to calm his emotions.Then he said sharply: "Second aunt, don't forget to piss off my father, but you have a 'credit', my father's bones are not cold. Honoring you, wouldn't that be unfilial to my father. Beat you out, Only then can I be worthy of the spirit of my father in heaven."
"You~~you are talking nonsense." Wang stammered, and she glanced in the direction of Wen's family with some panic, comforting herself that Chen Yue's first seven days have passed.Under the stare of Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu, he was too guilty to look directly into their eyes.
"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Wang is careful about retribution." Zhang Zirui sneered, and then said: "A Wu, what are you doing standing there, and you still don't beat this woman out to me."
Wen Qiwu, already furious, snatched the cloth from Wang's hand.He found a stick and drove Wang away.Ping'an's two little bean dings were red-eyed, rushed up, hugged Wang's leg and bit down hard.
Wang screamed and raised his hand to hit Ping An, Wen Qiwen hurried forward to protect the two children, Wang was finally beaten out by Wen Qiwu.
Zhang Zirui sighed, knowing the past of the Wen family, he felt that he needed to find time to brainwash the Wen family brothers and teach them a lesson.They didn't face each other, but their thoughts were tightly bound by the etiquette and a little roundabout.For the elders like the eldest and the second eldest of the Wen family, they have always been tolerant, and they are about to become steel.These are all influenced by Wen Chengliang and his wife for many years, so they must be broken back quickly.
☆, the years are quiet and good
The nature of heaven and earth, people are precious.There is nothing greater than filial piety in human behavior.Filial piety is greater than strict father.
Wen Chengliang felt guilty for marrying Chen Yue because he disobeyed his parents.Because of marrying Shuang'er, the reputation of the Wen family was damaged, and he was ashamed of his elder brother.For his elder brother who is filial in front of his parents, he has always tolerated it because of guilt, and Wen Chengliang asked his family members like this.
In the teaching of this kind of thinking for many years, even Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu were both impulsive and jealous at an age, and when they met Wen Chengcai and Wen Chengqian, they were always patient.Only when the anger reaches the extreme, will it be uncontrollable.
It was also because Wen Chengliang's family backed down step by step, that Wen Chengcai and Wen Chengqian's family took advantage of them, and it was only natural for them to take advantage of them.
After driving away Mrs. Wang, Wen Qiwen hugged and coaxed the little girl who was woken up. The two Pingan brothers cried and hugged Wen Qiwen's leg, raised their heads, and asked pitifully.
"Brother, did Father really get mad at Second Aunt?"
Wen Qiwen was at a loss when he was asked, and the Pingan brothers were still young, so they kept hiding it.Wen Qiwu sat sideways by the table, with one hand resting on his lap and the other on the table, his fists clenched tightly, his tiger eyes wide open, slightly flushed.
Zhang Zirui couldn't help but began to examine himself. Cultivators pay most attention to self-cultivation. Although he has maintained a gentle appearance since he was an adult, he still has the vigor of a sword cultivator in his bones.With my recent behavior, the vigor in my bones has gradually emerged, which is not a good sign.
He pulled the two little peas over and let them sit on his lap. "Hey, stop crying, you are all men now." Zhang Zirui comforted the two children a little stupidly.
"Brother, why do the second aunt and the first aunt always bully us?" The two little guys leaned on Zhang Zirui's thin chest with red eyes, sniffing and asking.
"That's because they think you're easy to bully." Zhang Zirui put his arms around them, acting as a bosom brother.
Wen Qi'an: "But Father always says that we are juniors, we should respect them."
Zhang Zirui: "That depends on how well they treat you. You see, they always bully you. Do you think they deserve your respect?"
Wen Chiping: "But Dad also said he would let them go."
"In filial piety, there is nothing more important than respecting your parents. Although your father is seriously ill, he was pissed off by your first aunt and second aunt. Just because of this, you have reason to ignore them, and even more so. You can't let them bully you, and let the father and father under the nine springs worry about you know? This can be regarded as fulfilling your filial piety." Zhang Zirui seems to be more and more used to fooling around, and there is a set of fallacies.In order to prevent these brothers and sisters from being bullied all the time, he also took great pains.
The two Pingan brothers were still young, and they had always admired Zhang Zirui. They felt that what the brother-in-law said was definitely right, and they just had to do what the brother-in-law said.Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu were always older, and felt that Zhang Zirui was right, but there seemed to be something wrong.
Because the Wen family was still in the filial piety period, Zhang Zirui and his wife did not celebrate when they moved to a new house.It's just that my family got together and had a good meal.Zhang Zirui has a home in this world and has officially settled down.
After the house was built, Wen Qiwen planted some radishes, cabbages, wax gourds, etc. in the vegetable garden, and Wen Qiwu also came to help.
Zhang Zirui takes care of the children at home every day, teaches the younger sister to speak and walk, and teaches the Pingan brothers to read and write.They practice when they are free. Apart from tending the vegetable fields, Ah Wen and Ah Wu go hunting in the mountains and collect firewood.The days were smooth and peaceful.When Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu are free, they will also read characters with Zhang Zirui.
Day by day, the weather is getting colder and colder.Zhang Zirui looked at Wen Qiwen who worked and hunted during the day and made clothes for his younger siblings at night, and felt that such a capable daughter-in-law might be hard to find.
"Awen, sewing at night is not good for your eyes." After Zhang Zirui finished his practice, he saw Wen Qiwen still sewing a quilt.
"It's okay, it's getting better soon, it's getting colder and colder, I have to make them a quilt quickly." Except for him, no one in the family knows how to sew, so he has to work harder.And even if you suffer yourself, you can't suffer your younger siblings.
"The firewood at home is almost enough. It's getting colder and colder. You and Awu don't always go to the mountains. The money at home is enough for the winter, right?" There is no shortage of money, and I often keep some for myself and sell some.It's just that it's cold, and it's even colder in the mountains so don't freeze people.
Wen Qiwen: "It's enough to survive the winter, but there are still more places to spend money in the spring of next year."
Zhang Zirui: "In the spring of next year, my body will almost recover, so let me make money by then."
Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui, I can do it, you should rest for a while."
Although Zhang Zirui has put on some flesh, he still looks like a weak scholar.
Zhang Zirui: "I know my own body."
He has basically sorted out the meridians in his body now, and started to clean up the accumulated poison in his body.Don't talk about going into the mountains until spring, as long as you are careful, you can go to the deep mountains.
Wen Qiwen: "Then let's talk about it in the spring of next year."
Sanshui Village is located in the south, and the village is located on a relatively flat dam among the mountains.The village is backed by a continuous mountain, and in front of the village is a winding river that winds at the foot of the mountain without seeing its end.Because Sanshui Village is surrounded by majestic mountains, the temperature is lower than that of nearby places due to the difference in altitude.
There is no kang burning here in winter, but a fire altar will be set up in the house.It is to dig a small hole in the ground or surround it with stones, and burn firewood inside.When it was cold, the family gathered around to keep warm, put a pot on the fire, and the meals were also settled here.In winter, the pots and stoves in the kitchen are basically useless.
When the first snow fell this winter, Zhang Zirui and the Wen brothers and sisters all put on new padded jackets made by Wen Qiwen.New clothes are made of strong coarse cloth on the outside, but muslin is lined and lined inside.Not only is it soft and close to the body, but it is also very comfortable to wear.
Putting on the new padded jacket for the first time, the Pingan brothers were very excited.In previous winters, they always wore stiff and rigid padded jackets, which were not warm at all.They basically spend the winter around the fire altar, not daring to stay away.
Wearing a thick padded jacket made of new cotton this year, it felt very warm, so the two brothers ran in the yard excitedly.Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky one after another, screaming and jumping.The snow wasn't falling heavily, and there was no snow on the ground, so Wen Qiwen let them go crazy for a while.
Zhang Zirui, who was sitting by the fire altar in his home to test sweet potatoes, heard the giggles of the two boys in Ping An, and asked Ah Wen suspiciously: "Do the third brother and the fourth brother have no friends in the village? Why have I never seen them with others?" kids playing."
Wen Qiwen, who was making clothes for the younger sister, paused, his face darkened. "It turned out that the family was poor, and the third and fourth brothers would go to the fields to help pull weeds and catch insects when they were young. Sometimes they also helped to look after my father and younger sister. How could I have time to go out to play? Or after you came, The environment at home is better, so we let them play. Besides, our father is Shuang'er, and Shuang'er's children will be excluded to some extent in the village." Wen Qiwen's voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke.
Through the half-open door, Zhang Zirui watched Ah Wu hold the little sister's hand, and the little girl walked around with her short legs, playing around safely.I feel that it is not easy for the two young Ping An to be so innocent and lively in such an environment.
For Shuang'er's situation, he came from a relatively equal age, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.But he is not Tom Su, that sympathy is because the person he dragged under his wings is Shuang'er.
However, no matter which world you are in, people who are different from ordinary people will inevitably be discriminated against.But life is one's own, good or bad, half depends on the environment, half depends on oneself.
"By the way, your father's friends don't have children?" Zhang Zirui thought of Erzhu, Shitou, Liuzi and others who often took care of them. These people shouldn't have children.
Wen Qiwen: "Yes, there are, but they are all about the same age as Ah Wu. They are both older children, and they often help the family with things."
"It's okay. When we live a better life in the future, we don't have to worry about having no one to play with them." Although a practitioner pays attention to abstinence of desires, he believes that enough benefits can drive everything.Children, if you give them a few candies, it will be a fart.After getting along for a long time, there will be feelings.
It was a snowy day and it was very cold. Zhang Zirui felt that they had almost finished playing, so he pulled out the sweet potatoes from the wood ash, knocked them on the ground, and knocked off some of the outer skin.These sweet potatoes have been in stock for a while now.Just wait for it to dry out, and the sweet potatoes that come out of the test will be more fragrant and sweet.
"The roasted sweet potatoes are ready, come and eat."
Brother Pingan, who was almost becoming a foodie, cheered, and rolled into the house with his round body.
"Brother, what about mine, what about mine."
Zhang Zirui picked up a three-finger-thick sweet potato and split it open in the middle, exposing the yellow flesh, emitting white smoke.Immediately, the room was filled with a sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes.He gave half of each of the Pingan brothers.
"It's hot, be careful."
"Well, thank you bro."
"Ah~~Ah~~Material (required)~~" The little girl who was led in stretched out her little empty paw, drooling, and was about to grab it.
Wen Qiwen put down his needle and thread, picked up the little girl who was dressed like a piglet, and said with a smile, "Little greedy cat, big brother will feed you."
"Seven (eat)~~ah~~seven (eat)~~" The little girl twisted dishonestly, her eyes fixed on the sweet potato in Ping An's hand.
Zhang Zirui handed one to Ah Wu, then broke open another one, and shared it with Wen Qiwen.Wen Qiwen broke off a small piece, blew it cool and fed it to the younger sister.One big and one small, you take a bite and I eat happily.
"Awen, my little sister is not young anymore, should I choose a name?" Although girls cannot be listed in the genealogy, they must have a decent name, and they cannot always be called Xiaomei.
Wen Qiwu: "Brother, you are knowledgeable, how about you get one?"
Wen Qiwen: "Yes, brother Rui, please get one for my little sister."
"Tell me the horoscope of my little sister's birthday, and I'll see what I can get?" Zhang Zirui didn't hesitate.
It is better to teach a child a skill than to give a child a thousand gold; it is better to give a good name to a child than to teach a child a skill.As a cultivator, it's not easy to choose a name that matches the little girl's fate.
Wen Qiwen told Zhang Zirui the little sister's horoscope without hesitation.
"The five elements of my younger sister belong to wood, but gold is rich, it restrains wood, and water grows wood. The water in the rivers and lakes returns to the sea, which is called Xi. My younger sister is called Wen Xi." Zhang Zirui said, and took a piece of wood with blackened ends. Stick, write a word Xi on the ground.
The brothers of the Wen family who have seen Zhang Zirui's knowledge and talents have long been accustomed to what he knows, and they are no strangers to it.
"Little sister, you already have a name. From now on, you will be called Wen Xi, and your nickname is Xixi." Wen Qiwen happily kissed Xixi on the cheek.
A Wu also giggled cheerfully, and Ping An also called her sister's name.
"By the way, did you know how to write the characters I taught you yesterday?" Zhang Zirui interrupted their silly fun, happy that it's time for the school exam.
Immediately, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the four brothers looked at Zhang Zirui with a guilty conscience, mourning in their hearts that the handwriting that brother Rui (brother) taught yesterday was so difficult to write.
"Hehe~~hehe~~" Xixi, who didn't know anything, was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere just now, clapping her little hands and smiling happily.
☆, New Year's gift
As the weather gets colder and colder, the Spring Festival is approaching quietly.The atmosphere in the village became lively, and the villagers began to prepare for the festival according to their own conditions.Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu also went to the town a few times, bought a lot of new year's goods and came back, ready to celebrate the new year.
By the end of the new year, Wen Qiwen will really be fourteen, fifteen in imaginary.And Wen Qiwu is also twelve years old. Although he is not yet an adult, he is still a real big kid in this world.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, Wen Chengcai, who was in the restaurant in the town, and Wen Chengqian, who was the shopkeeper in the county, both returned to Sanshui Village with their children.In Sanshui Village, Wen is the common surname, but one of these two people has fame, and the other can make money, so they are relatively well-known in the village.Of course, after what happened to Wen Qiwen's family, their daughter-in-law became even more famous.
After these people came back, they did not have any impact on the Wen family's life.It's just that Wen Qili from Wen Chengqian's family brought Wen Qifang over and met Wen Qiwu.
"Fourth cousin, these are the pastries I brought from the county. You can try them. We have also heard about your family. My mother is really unkind. I will apologize to you on my mother's behalf." Wen Qili A reasonable man, he was ashamed of what his mother had done.
"Cousin Wu, I'm sorry." Eight-year-old Wen Qifang saw his respected brother apologize, and followed suit.
"Third cousin, sixth cousin, it's not your fault." Wen Qiwu had resentment towards his second aunt in his heart, but he didn't dislike Wen Qili and Wen Qifang who were always polite and treated them like brothers.But it is impossible to forgive the second aunt in this way.
"Fourth cousin, my mother didn't mean it." Wen Qili sincerely came to apologize for his mother.After they came back, they heard people in the village talking about the Wen family.Later, his mother kept complaining about how the fourth cousin's family was.His father didn't say a word, and ignored his mother.He knew his parents well, his father didn't take it seriously, and her mother concealed the things that were not good for him.In any case, as the eldest son, it is his duty to apologize.
"Third cousin, you don't need to say anything, my father is dead." A Wu interrupted him with a gloomy expression.
"My condolences, family and everything will be prosperous, I~~" Wen Qili still wanted to persuade, he felt that although his mother was a little confused, it was definitely not on purpose.
"Third cousin, let's go." Wen Qiwu's face darkened, he didn't want to hear what he had to say, so he directly issued the order to evict the guest.
"Keep this for you to eat, it's my wish." Wen Qili handed the pastry to Wen Qiwu.
"No need, there are at home." Wen Qiwu said, closing the courtyard door.
Wen Qili sighed, took the pastry in one hand, and took Wen Qifang back with the other.Wen Qifang looked at the gate of Wen's house in puzzlement, and then at the sad-faced elder brother, not understanding what was going on.
Knowing that Wen Qili went to Wen Qiwu to apologize, Wang scolded her son.Looking at the unrepentant mother, Wen Qili suddenly understood why his cousin wanted to kick them out.He looked at the indifferent father, then at the hideous mother, and sighed in his heart.But between parents and cousins, in the end he will choose his parents.However, Wen Qili complained a little to his aunt, if she hadn't urged her, his mother wouldn't be like this.
As for Wen Chengcai's family, they kept silent about what happened in Wen Qiwu's family, as if it had never happened.It's just Wen Xing and Wen Tao wearing newly made clothes, showing off in the cold weather.Mrs. Li happily took care of the pile of things that Wen Chengcai brought back, so this year can be a good year.
These things were bought with the money Wen Qiwen sold to Zhang's family for burial, and the family felt at ease about it, as it should be.
"Ah Wen, it's almost Chinese New Year, how are our family's New Year ceremony preparations going?" Zhang Zirui is now a member of Sanshui Village, so he still needs to pay attention to some human relations.Although the rural areas are not as particular about big families, they will still send some cakes, rulers and so on to relatives or some acquaintances.
"Well, everything is ready as you said." Wen Qiwen ordered the things on the table, and he was relieved to make sure that all the items were not missing.
"Ah Wu, you should help him watch more." Wen's family only had a few children, and the family used to be poor and had no money to send them.But this year, the money is easier and faster, and we should also express something to those who have helped them.
"His place is fine, just send it when you find the time. Uncle and Second Uncle's are not prepared, so we won't send it in the future." Originally, this year's gift was sent during the New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, because the Wen family was still in the filial piety period. It is inconvenient to go to other people's homes during the Chinese New Year.It can only be delivered years ago, but not allowed to enter the door.
For the uncle and the second uncle's family, Wen Qiwen's hatred in his heart is deeper than that of his younger brothers.Because he was a direct victim and was almost sent to be buried.He was young, and although he had a good temper, he was not yet open enough to forgive them.Enduring not doing anything radical is also because of long-term moral constraints.
Zhang Zirui helped arrange the things on the table, and the two of them put away the things first, waiting to bring them when they went to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the inside and outside of the house has been cleaned by diligent Wen Qiwen.Because of the cold weather, the Wen family brothers have not gone up the mountain for a long time.With them at home, Zhang Zirui didn't have to worry about anything, and could devote all his energy to cultivation.Wen Qiwen also took over the matter of teaching the Wen family brothers to read.He knows a lot of characters, so it is still possible to teach a few younger ones.
In this world, Zhang Zirui has never seen anyone with spiritual roots, so he can basically assume that people in this world should not have spiritual roots, so there should be no cultivators in this world.But this world is full of aura, and it is estimated that there will be treasures of heaven and earth in the mountains.Thinking of this, it's hard for him, a half-assed cultivator who has never seen Tiancaidibao, not to be excited.I wish I could recover my health as soon as possible and enter the mountain as soon as possible.At this time, Houshan was like a treasure house to him.
The brothers of the Wen family were very sensible, knowing that Zhang Zirui wanted to recover as soon as possible, so they didn't bother him to practice.Even the Pingan brothers, who love to cling to Zhang Zirui the most, only cling to him to listen to stories after he finishes his cultivation.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang's family and Wen's family made an appointment to watch the New Year's Eve together at night.However, since the heaven, the earth and the ancestors have to be sacrificed, the sacrifices and meals are still prepared by each family.
There is a strong New Year flavor in the village, and every family has changed their door couplets, and some people even posted door gods on their doors.For those with better conditions, festive red lanterns were hung at the door.Life is not easy for the people in the village, so they take this opportunity to reward themselves throughout the year.Every household has cut meat, more or less prepared peanuts, melon seeds, and some even prepared pastries and sugar.
Although the Wen family still had the white couplet posted, the Zhang family had already posted a festive couplet.Because I didn't have pens and ink at home, I still bought this couplet in the town.Zhang Zirui felt that the font on it was very neat, but lacked style, and he couldn't write it well.
Zhang Zirui recalled the scene of the Chinese New Year in the past.There are no relatives in the family, and every year, he and his grandfather stand alone at a large table with endless dishes.Watching the New Year's Eve at night is also deserted. If it weren't for the lively voice of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV, it would probably be even more deserted.But this year is different, there are more family members.
Affected by the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, on New Year's Eve, Zhang Zirui rolled up his sleeves and took the children with him, and cooked a table of dishes by himself, including braised fish, braised chicken, crispy meat, egg rolls and so on.The scent wafted far away, making the two Pingan brothers who were helping their elder brother prepare meals for the sacrifice at home very greedy.
Fortunately, after the sacrifice, the two families would join together to eat and watch the new year, so they held back.
After preparing the meals, Zhang Zirui lit the guide incense, burned the guide money, and took the ancestors home for dinner.Zhang Zirui used the bodies of the Zhang family, and sacrificed to the ancestors of the Zhang family, as well as the birth mother of Young Master Zhang and First Young Master Zhang.Although he doesn't know if the ancestors of the Zhang family in another world can receive it, he also sacrifices it.
After the sacrifice, Zhang Zirui moved the food to the main room of the Wen family.Wen Qiwu looked at the meals he cooked, and felt very ashamed that Bi Gefu cooked them himself.Although his culinary skills are getting better, he is not good enough compared to his brother-in-law.
The family ate happily, and Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu cleaned up the dishes of each house.Wen Qiwu brought up the pastries, candies, melon seeds, and peanuts prepared at home.He also carefully took out a small bag of tea.Although it is only a small bag, the tea is a precious commodity here.
"Brother, thank you for taking care of us all the time. We will remember your kindness in our hearts. You and my elder brother are like our elders. Although this is not good tea, it is also a little bit of my heart." Always talk less Wen Qiwu said a lot of things in a rare and emotional way.
Wen Qiwen went home and brought the coarse porcelain tea set, made a pot of tea, and poured a cup for Zhang Zirui.
"Awu, we are a family, so don't be so polite." Although Zhang Zirui's body is only small, it is not much bigger than them.But in his last life, he was a man of three years, so he could be their father.After his grandfather died, he was always alone. Now that he had relatives again, he admitted to accepting them. He took care of the Wen family brothers as children.
"Brother Rui, if it weren't for you, my brother and sister and I wouldn't know what would happen now." Wen Qiwen was the most touched by Zhang Zirui's kindness to them.If it weren't for Zhang Zirui, I don't know if the brothers and sisters could be together now.Leaving him alone, Ah Wu and the others don't know what will happen.And what Zhang Zirui did for him was more than what any husband-in-law of any family did for his wife.Zhang Zirui considered them everywhere, took care of them, and accommodated them.
"Families should take care of each other." Zhang Zirui lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wen Qiwen and his brothers. "Come and try it too."
The two of Ping An have never drunk tea, it smells very fragrant, so be careful
Zhang Zirui nodded. Although sweet potatoes are a good thing, eating too much will cause 'heartburn', acid regurgitation, intestinal discomfort, and abdominal distension, which is really indecent.But sweet potatoes are also sweet and delicious, filling the stomach.He misses the taste of roasted sweet potatoes a little bit. This world is full of aura, and the taste of vegetables and fruits has improved a lot.
In the end, they didn't buy it. This thing is worthless in the village. If you spend this money in the town, it's better to go back to the village and buy some from the people who have planted it.
Walking in and out of the town all morning, Zhang Zirui didn't meet a single acquaintance.The main reason is that the eldest and youngest of the Zhang family stay in the house, and they have been studying at home all the time, and then they are recuperating at home.However, Zhang Zirui felt a lot more relaxed when he couldn't see acquaintances.
The two passed by the study, and Zhang Zirui wanted to buy two medicine books to see if the medicinal materials here were the same as those in the original world.But the high book price made him discouraged.
Wen Qiwen did not ignore Zhang Zirui and took a second look at the study. "Brother Rui, do you want to buy a book?"
"It's nothing, it's just nostalgia, let's go." Zhang Zirui shook his head and continued to walk forward.He knows that the child treats him wholeheartedly, and if he wants to buy books, the child will definitely buy it.But before he can make money, he has to be considerate of children.But this was the first person other than grandpa to treat him so well, and Zhang Zirui also wanted to treat him well.
Wen Qiwen felt that Brother Rui must want to read a book, so he glanced at the study with some hesitation.In the end, he followed Zhang Zirui and left, thinking that he would work hard to earn money to buy books for Ruige in the future.Wen Qiwen is a stubborn child, and he will treat people well with all his heart.Just like being good to family members, there is no turning back.
The town is not big, there are not many shops, and there are not many choices for shopping.So it wouldn't be too much trouble to buy all the things, but for Zhang Zirui at this time, he was still exhausted.They bought a full cart full of things, which were tied up high with ropes before they could barely be pulled down.Uncle A Niu was very surprised that they bought so many things, but he is not a talkative person.
The three of them ate a bowl of noodles each in the town, and then drove the ox cart back to the village slowly.
Back in the village, it is inevitable that someone will see that pile of things.Inevitably, there was a lot of discussion, Zhang Zirui was used to these simple villagers making a fuss, and loved gossip.Totally disrespectful.Wen Qiwen had been talked about too much before, so he didn't bother to pay attention.
After arriving home, Uncle A Niu helped them move their things into the house, took the money and left.
There is only one house in Zhang's house, but the inside of the house is relatively large, separated by wooden boards into two rooms, the inner room is the bedroom, and the outer room is equipped with tables and chairs.At this time, all the things bought back were put on the seat.
The fence of the Zhang family next to the Wen family has now been demolished, and when they returned, all the Wen family brothers came to help.Zhang Zirui took out four candied haws and gave them to the four Wenwu Pingan brothers.In his eyes, Ah Wen and Ah Wu are just children.Even though Ah Wu is a boy and the head of the family, he is only a child in his teens.
"Brother, what is this?" Ping'an's two little bean dings looked at the things in Zhang Zirui's hands and asked curiously.
"This is candied haws, very delicious."
Hearing that it was delicious, they cheered, each took a bunch, and carefully licked it with their small tongues.It was so sweet, the two little guys suddenly smiled and narrowed their eyes.Zhang Zirui felt a little sour, the two children had never even eaten candied haws.
Ah Wen and Ah Wu thought they were grown-ups, and they were embarrassed to pick up the kid's food, and looked at Zhang Zirui with embarrassed faces.The little girl in Wen Qiwu's arms was asleep, otherwise he would have to reach out for it.
"I've bought everything, let's eat." Zhang Zirui stuffed the candied haws into their hands, and when his hands were empty, he took the little girl and held them in his arms.Changing places, the little girl frowned, with a flat mouth that looked like she wanted to cry.
Zhang Zirui quickly patted it lightly, but he didn't dare to hug him.I've heard it said before that children always hold each other upside down and they will form eyes.He didn't know if it was true, but he didn't dare to try.Fortunately, the little girl moved her small body and hugged him, and found the familiar smell and continued to sleep at ease.Zhang Zirui felt that his posture of holding a child became more and more natural, this could be regarded as practicing in advance, so that he can hold his own child in the future.
Thinking of the child's "mother" in the future, his body froze, and he looked at Awen's boyish appearance.Although I know that Shuang'er can have children, I still think it is very mysterious.Ah Wen is still a child, don't think about it.
Ah Wen didn't expect that he could get a bunch, so he pinched the candied haws with some embarrassment. "Save this for my little sister."
"Little sister is teething, it's not good to eat too much sweet, this is for you, eat it." Zhang Zirui knew that he would be like this.
"Brother Rui, what about you?"
Hearing Wen Qiwen's inquiry, the three Wen family brothers looked up at Zhang Zirui, how could they have forgotten that there was no brother-in-law.
"Eat it, I don't like sweets."
So the four brothers sat at the table, happily eating candied haws.Ah Wen and Ah Wu had eaten it when they were young, but the memory is so far away that they almost don't remember it.At this time, I ate candied haws and felt sweeter than I remembered when I was a child.
Zhang Zirui sat on the side holding the child, feeling tired and exhausted.His body is now mostly healed, but his physical strength is still not enough.
Seeing his tired look, Wen Qiwen carefully put away the unfinished candied haws, and quickly made the bed.The inside of the house is cleaned up, as long as the bought bedding is spread out, they bought a set of finished products.The rest had to be done by Wen Qiwen when he was free, after all, the finished product was a bit expensive.
After the bed was made, Zhang Zirui was rushed to rest by Wen Qiwen.Even Ah Wu and Ping An insisted on letting him rest, leaving the family affairs to them.As the head of the family, Zhang Zirui felt embarrassed and wanted to help pack things, but in the end he was defeated by his broken body and went to bed with his younger sister.
When Mrs. Wang heard that the Zhang family had bought a cart full of things, she thought that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.When he rolled his eyes, he didn't know if he could rub something, so he happily ran to Zhang's house.
After entering Zhang's house, she saw that the two brothers of the Wen family were packing up the things they had bought.
At a glance, Mrs. Wang saw that there was a piece of fine cotton cloth on the table, which Wen Qiwen bought to make underwear for the family.Zhang Zirui saw that the Wen family brothers always treated him harshly. They obviously had some money in their hands, but they lived like refugees, and they kept instilling in him the idea of being kind to themselves.Wen Qiwen felt sorry for Zhang Zirui and his younger siblings, so he was willing to buy that piece of muslin cloth.
"Hey, Ah Wen's material is really soft. Your second aunt hasn't worn such a good material yet." Wang stretched out her hand to touch the soft fabric, and a look of greed flashed in her eyes.
When Wen Qiwen saw Mrs. Wang, he secretly regretted that he forgot to fasten the gate of the courtyard. "Second aunt was joking, second uncle is also a shopkeeper, and he has no money to buy it for you."
"It's not easy for our family. How can we have spare money to buy this? Your cousin is about to get married, and the gift money hasn't come yet. Ah Wen, your second aunt and I are not easy, why don't you put Share some of this fabric with me. Otherwise, I probably won’t have the chance to wear such a good fabric in my life. Just treat it as your filial piety to your second aunt.” Mrs. Wang began to cry poorly, but she thought in her heart that the fabric would cost more than a tael of silver. They are really willing.
"Second Aunt, don't go too far, this belongs to the Zhang family, why should you be filial to you." A Wu said, glaring at the shameless Li Shi, and then went forward to bring the fabric.
"You also said that this thing belongs to Zhang's family. I'm not asking you for it. What are you in a hurry for?" Wang shunned, holding the cloth and reluctant to let go.
"Second aunt, you also know that this thing belongs to the Zhang family. As a married couple, how can I honor my mother's aunt with things from my in-law's family?" Wen Qiwen laughed angrily at this greedy second aunt.Seeing her greedy appearance, I just feel disgusted.
"Why can't it work? After all, I'm your elder, so what if you honor me with something?" Wang looked confident, but she also knew in her heart that Wen Qiwen was right.
Zhang Zirui just fell asleep when he was woken up by Wang's sharp voice.Hearing his weird remarks, he couldn't help but touch his forehead.The relatives of the child's family are all strange people who are not seriously ill. He seems to say that the medicine cannot be stopped.Is it because the family's bad genes have been passed on to the eldest and second child of the Wen family, so the good genes can only be passed on to the third child of the Wen family.As for the women who married into Wen's family, it can only be said that the family does not stay in the same family.
In this world, not to mention married twins who have no status, even married daughters will be criticized if they take things to their natal homes, let alone use them to honor their aunts.
"Second aunt of the Wen family, the things of my Zhang family should be filial to the Wen family, but only to my father-in-law and husband and wife. You don't need to be filial to your elders, even if you ask someone to tell you, we are reasonable." Zhang Zirui straightened his clothes, Get out of the room.
"Nephew, you are here." Mrs. Wang looked a little guilty, and Zhang Zirui, who looked cold, said nah.
"If I wasn't here, the only remaining possessions of my Zhang family would be used by the elders of the Wen family as tribute." Without outsiders, Zhang Zirui's words became vicious.
"Brother Rui, I'm sorry." Wen Qiwen felt very embarrassed that this kind of thing always happened to Brother Rui.
"Ah Wen, it's not your fault that the elders are unkind, you've done enough." Zhang Zirui walked to the side of the child, reached out to gently hold his hand, to calm his emotions.Then he said sharply: "Second aunt, don't forget to piss off my father, but you have a 'credit', my father's bones are not cold. Honoring you, wouldn't that be unfilial to my father. Beat you out, Only then can I be worthy of the spirit of my father in heaven."
"You~~you are talking nonsense." Wang stammered, and she glanced in the direction of Wen's family with some panic, comforting herself that Chen Yue's first seven days have passed.Under the stare of Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu, he was too guilty to look directly into their eyes.
"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. Wang is careful about retribution." Zhang Zirui sneered, and then said: "A Wu, what are you doing standing there, and you still don't beat this woman out to me."
Wen Qiwu, already furious, snatched the cloth from Wang's hand.He found a stick and drove Wang away.Ping'an's two little bean dings were red-eyed, rushed up, hugged Wang's leg and bit down hard.
Wang screamed and raised his hand to hit Ping An, Wen Qiwen hurried forward to protect the two children, Wang was finally beaten out by Wen Qiwu.
Zhang Zirui sighed, knowing the past of the Wen family, he felt that he needed to find time to brainwash the Wen family brothers and teach them a lesson.They didn't face each other, but their thoughts were tightly bound by the etiquette and a little roundabout.For the elders like the eldest and the second eldest of the Wen family, they have always been tolerant, and they are about to become steel.These are all influenced by Wen Chengliang and his wife for many years, so they must be broken back quickly.
☆, the years are quiet and good
The nature of heaven and earth, people are precious.There is nothing greater than filial piety in human behavior.Filial piety is greater than strict father.
Wen Chengliang felt guilty for marrying Chen Yue because he disobeyed his parents.Because of marrying Shuang'er, the reputation of the Wen family was damaged, and he was ashamed of his elder brother.For his elder brother who is filial in front of his parents, he has always tolerated it because of guilt, and Wen Chengliang asked his family members like this.
In the teaching of this kind of thinking for many years, even Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu were both impulsive and jealous at an age, and when they met Wen Chengcai and Wen Chengqian, they were always patient.Only when the anger reaches the extreme, will it be uncontrollable.
It was also because Wen Chengliang's family backed down step by step, that Wen Chengcai and Wen Chengqian's family took advantage of them, and it was only natural for them to take advantage of them.
After driving away Mrs. Wang, Wen Qiwen hugged and coaxed the little girl who was woken up. The two Pingan brothers cried and hugged Wen Qiwen's leg, raised their heads, and asked pitifully.
"Brother, did Father really get mad at Second Aunt?"
Wen Qiwen was at a loss when he was asked, and the Pingan brothers were still young, so they kept hiding it.Wen Qiwu sat sideways by the table, with one hand resting on his lap and the other on the table, his fists clenched tightly, his tiger eyes wide open, slightly flushed.
Zhang Zirui couldn't help but began to examine himself. Cultivators pay most attention to self-cultivation. Although he has maintained a gentle appearance since he was an adult, he still has the vigor of a sword cultivator in his bones.With my recent behavior, the vigor in my bones has gradually emerged, which is not a good sign.
He pulled the two little peas over and let them sit on his lap. "Hey, stop crying, you are all men now." Zhang Zirui comforted the two children a little stupidly.
"Brother, why do the second aunt and the first aunt always bully us?" The two little guys leaned on Zhang Zirui's thin chest with red eyes, sniffing and asking.
"That's because they think you're easy to bully." Zhang Zirui put his arms around them, acting as a bosom brother.
Wen Qi'an: "But Father always says that we are juniors, we should respect them."
Zhang Zirui: "That depends on how well they treat you. You see, they always bully you. Do you think they deserve your respect?"
Wen Chiping: "But Dad also said he would let them go."
"In filial piety, there is nothing more important than respecting your parents. Although your father is seriously ill, he was pissed off by your first aunt and second aunt. Just because of this, you have reason to ignore them, and even more so. You can't let them bully you, and let the father and father under the nine springs worry about you know? This can be regarded as fulfilling your filial piety." Zhang Zirui seems to be more and more used to fooling around, and there is a set of fallacies.In order to prevent these brothers and sisters from being bullied all the time, he also took great pains.
The two Pingan brothers were still young, and they had always admired Zhang Zirui. They felt that what the brother-in-law said was definitely right, and they just had to do what the brother-in-law said.Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu were always older, and felt that Zhang Zirui was right, but there seemed to be something wrong.
Because the Wen family was still in the filial piety period, Zhang Zirui and his wife did not celebrate when they moved to a new house.It's just that my family got together and had a good meal.Zhang Zirui has a home in this world and has officially settled down.
After the house was built, Wen Qiwen planted some radishes, cabbages, wax gourds, etc. in the vegetable garden, and Wen Qiwu also came to help.
Zhang Zirui takes care of the children at home every day, teaches the younger sister to speak and walk, and teaches the Pingan brothers to read and write.They practice when they are free. Apart from tending the vegetable fields, Ah Wen and Ah Wu go hunting in the mountains and collect firewood.The days were smooth and peaceful.When Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu are free, they will also read characters with Zhang Zirui.
Day by day, the weather is getting colder and colder.Zhang Zirui looked at Wen Qiwen who worked and hunted during the day and made clothes for his younger siblings at night, and felt that such a capable daughter-in-law might be hard to find.
"Awen, sewing at night is not good for your eyes." After Zhang Zirui finished his practice, he saw Wen Qiwen still sewing a quilt.
"It's okay, it's getting better soon, it's getting colder and colder, I have to make them a quilt quickly." Except for him, no one in the family knows how to sew, so he has to work harder.And even if you suffer yourself, you can't suffer your younger siblings.
"The firewood at home is almost enough. It's getting colder and colder. You and Awu don't always go to the mountains. The money at home is enough for the winter, right?" There is no shortage of money, and I often keep some for myself and sell some.It's just that it's cold, and it's even colder in the mountains so don't freeze people.
Wen Qiwen: "It's enough to survive the winter, but there are still more places to spend money in the spring of next year."
Zhang Zirui: "In the spring of next year, my body will almost recover, so let me make money by then."
Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui, I can do it, you should rest for a while."
Although Zhang Zirui has put on some flesh, he still looks like a weak scholar.
Zhang Zirui: "I know my own body."
He has basically sorted out the meridians in his body now, and started to clean up the accumulated poison in his body.Don't talk about going into the mountains until spring, as long as you are careful, you can go to the deep mountains.
Wen Qiwen: "Then let's talk about it in the spring of next year."
Sanshui Village is located in the south, and the village is located on a relatively flat dam among the mountains.The village is backed by a continuous mountain, and in front of the village is a winding river that winds at the foot of the mountain without seeing its end.Because Sanshui Village is surrounded by majestic mountains, the temperature is lower than that of nearby places due to the difference in altitude.
There is no kang burning here in winter, but a fire altar will be set up in the house.It is to dig a small hole in the ground or surround it with stones, and burn firewood inside.When it was cold, the family gathered around to keep warm, put a pot on the fire, and the meals were also settled here.In winter, the pots and stoves in the kitchen are basically useless.
When the first snow fell this winter, Zhang Zirui and the Wen brothers and sisters all put on new padded jackets made by Wen Qiwen.New clothes are made of strong coarse cloth on the outside, but muslin is lined and lined inside.Not only is it soft and close to the body, but it is also very comfortable to wear.
Putting on the new padded jacket for the first time, the Pingan brothers were very excited.In previous winters, they always wore stiff and rigid padded jackets, which were not warm at all.They basically spend the winter around the fire altar, not daring to stay away.
Wearing a thick padded jacket made of new cotton this year, it felt very warm, so the two brothers ran in the yard excitedly.Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky one after another, screaming and jumping.The snow wasn't falling heavily, and there was no snow on the ground, so Wen Qiwen let them go crazy for a while.
Zhang Zirui, who was sitting by the fire altar in his home to test sweet potatoes, heard the giggles of the two boys in Ping An, and asked Ah Wen suspiciously: "Do the third brother and the fourth brother have no friends in the village? Why have I never seen them with others?" kids playing."
Wen Qiwen, who was making clothes for the younger sister, paused, his face darkened. "It turned out that the family was poor, and the third and fourth brothers would go to the fields to help pull weeds and catch insects when they were young. Sometimes they also helped to look after my father and younger sister. How could I have time to go out to play? Or after you came, The environment at home is better, so we let them play. Besides, our father is Shuang'er, and Shuang'er's children will be excluded to some extent in the village." Wen Qiwen's voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke.
Through the half-open door, Zhang Zirui watched Ah Wu hold the little sister's hand, and the little girl walked around with her short legs, playing around safely.I feel that it is not easy for the two young Ping An to be so innocent and lively in such an environment.
For Shuang'er's situation, he came from a relatively equal age, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.But he is not Tom Su, that sympathy is because the person he dragged under his wings is Shuang'er.
However, no matter which world you are in, people who are different from ordinary people will inevitably be discriminated against.But life is one's own, good or bad, half depends on the environment, half depends on oneself.
"By the way, your father's friends don't have children?" Zhang Zirui thought of Erzhu, Shitou, Liuzi and others who often took care of them. These people shouldn't have children.
Wen Qiwen: "Yes, there are, but they are all about the same age as Ah Wu. They are both older children, and they often help the family with things."
"It's okay. When we live a better life in the future, we don't have to worry about having no one to play with them." Although a practitioner pays attention to abstinence of desires, he believes that enough benefits can drive everything.Children, if you give them a few candies, it will be a fart.After getting along for a long time, there will be feelings.
It was a snowy day and it was very cold. Zhang Zirui felt that they had almost finished playing, so he pulled out the sweet potatoes from the wood ash, knocked them on the ground, and knocked off some of the outer skin.These sweet potatoes have been in stock for a while now.Just wait for it to dry out, and the sweet potatoes that come out of the test will be more fragrant and sweet.
"The roasted sweet potatoes are ready, come and eat."
Brother Pingan, who was almost becoming a foodie, cheered, and rolled into the house with his round body.
"Brother, what about mine, what about mine."
Zhang Zirui picked up a three-finger-thick sweet potato and split it open in the middle, exposing the yellow flesh, emitting white smoke.Immediately, the room was filled with a sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes.He gave half of each of the Pingan brothers.
"It's hot, be careful."
"Well, thank you bro."
"Ah~~Ah~~Material (required)~~" The little girl who was led in stretched out her little empty paw, drooling, and was about to grab it.
Wen Qiwen put down his needle and thread, picked up the little girl who was dressed like a piglet, and said with a smile, "Little greedy cat, big brother will feed you."
"Seven (eat)~~ah~~seven (eat)~~" The little girl twisted dishonestly, her eyes fixed on the sweet potato in Ping An's hand.
Zhang Zirui handed one to Ah Wu, then broke open another one, and shared it with Wen Qiwen.Wen Qiwen broke off a small piece, blew it cool and fed it to the younger sister.One big and one small, you take a bite and I eat happily.
"Awen, my little sister is not young anymore, should I choose a name?" Although girls cannot be listed in the genealogy, they must have a decent name, and they cannot always be called Xiaomei.
Wen Qiwu: "Brother, you are knowledgeable, how about you get one?"
Wen Qiwen: "Yes, brother Rui, please get one for my little sister."
"Tell me the horoscope of my little sister's birthday, and I'll see what I can get?" Zhang Zirui didn't hesitate.
It is better to teach a child a skill than to give a child a thousand gold; it is better to give a good name to a child than to teach a child a skill.As a cultivator, it's not easy to choose a name that matches the little girl's fate.
Wen Qiwen told Zhang Zirui the little sister's horoscope without hesitation.
"The five elements of my younger sister belong to wood, but gold is rich, it restrains wood, and water grows wood. The water in the rivers and lakes returns to the sea, which is called Xi. My younger sister is called Wen Xi." Zhang Zirui said, and took a piece of wood with blackened ends. Stick, write a word Xi on the ground.
The brothers of the Wen family who have seen Zhang Zirui's knowledge and talents have long been accustomed to what he knows, and they are no strangers to it.
"Little sister, you already have a name. From now on, you will be called Wen Xi, and your nickname is Xixi." Wen Qiwen happily kissed Xixi on the cheek.
A Wu also giggled cheerfully, and Ping An also called her sister's name.
"By the way, did you know how to write the characters I taught you yesterday?" Zhang Zirui interrupted their silly fun, happy that it's time for the school exam.
Immediately, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the four brothers looked at Zhang Zirui with a guilty conscience, mourning in their hearts that the handwriting that brother Rui (brother) taught yesterday was so difficult to write.
"Hehe~~hehe~~" Xixi, who didn't know anything, was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere just now, clapping her little hands and smiling happily.
☆, New Year's gift
As the weather gets colder and colder, the Spring Festival is approaching quietly.The atmosphere in the village became lively, and the villagers began to prepare for the festival according to their own conditions.Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu also went to the town a few times, bought a lot of new year's goods and came back, ready to celebrate the new year.
By the end of the new year, Wen Qiwen will really be fourteen, fifteen in imaginary.And Wen Qiwu is also twelve years old. Although he is not yet an adult, he is still a real big kid in this world.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, Wen Chengcai, who was in the restaurant in the town, and Wen Chengqian, who was the shopkeeper in the county, both returned to Sanshui Village with their children.In Sanshui Village, Wen is the common surname, but one of these two people has fame, and the other can make money, so they are relatively well-known in the village.Of course, after what happened to Wen Qiwen's family, their daughter-in-law became even more famous.
After these people came back, they did not have any impact on the Wen family's life.It's just that Wen Qili from Wen Chengqian's family brought Wen Qifang over and met Wen Qiwu.
"Fourth cousin, these are the pastries I brought from the county. You can try them. We have also heard about your family. My mother is really unkind. I will apologize to you on my mother's behalf." Wen Qili A reasonable man, he was ashamed of what his mother had done.
"Cousin Wu, I'm sorry." Eight-year-old Wen Qifang saw his respected brother apologize, and followed suit.
"Third cousin, sixth cousin, it's not your fault." Wen Qiwu had resentment towards his second aunt in his heart, but he didn't dislike Wen Qili and Wen Qifang who were always polite and treated them like brothers.But it is impossible to forgive the second aunt in this way.
"Fourth cousin, my mother didn't mean it." Wen Qili sincerely came to apologize for his mother.After they came back, they heard people in the village talking about the Wen family.Later, his mother kept complaining about how the fourth cousin's family was.His father didn't say a word, and ignored his mother.He knew his parents well, his father didn't take it seriously, and her mother concealed the things that were not good for him.In any case, as the eldest son, it is his duty to apologize.
"Third cousin, you don't need to say anything, my father is dead." A Wu interrupted him with a gloomy expression.
"My condolences, family and everything will be prosperous, I~~" Wen Qili still wanted to persuade, he felt that although his mother was a little confused, it was definitely not on purpose.
"Third cousin, let's go." Wen Qiwu's face darkened, he didn't want to hear what he had to say, so he directly issued the order to evict the guest.
"Keep this for you to eat, it's my wish." Wen Qili handed the pastry to Wen Qiwu.
"No need, there are at home." Wen Qiwu said, closing the courtyard door.
Wen Qili sighed, took the pastry in one hand, and took Wen Qifang back with the other.Wen Qifang looked at the gate of Wen's house in puzzlement, and then at the sad-faced elder brother, not understanding what was going on.
Knowing that Wen Qili went to Wen Qiwu to apologize, Wang scolded her son.Looking at the unrepentant mother, Wen Qili suddenly understood why his cousin wanted to kick them out.He looked at the indifferent father, then at the hideous mother, and sighed in his heart.But between parents and cousins, in the end he will choose his parents.However, Wen Qili complained a little to his aunt, if she hadn't urged her, his mother wouldn't be like this.
As for Wen Chengcai's family, they kept silent about what happened in Wen Qiwu's family, as if it had never happened.It's just Wen Xing and Wen Tao wearing newly made clothes, showing off in the cold weather.Mrs. Li happily took care of the pile of things that Wen Chengcai brought back, so this year can be a good year.
These things were bought with the money Wen Qiwen sold to Zhang's family for burial, and the family felt at ease about it, as it should be.
"Ah Wen, it's almost Chinese New Year, how are our family's New Year ceremony preparations going?" Zhang Zirui is now a member of Sanshui Village, so he still needs to pay attention to some human relations.Although the rural areas are not as particular about big families, they will still send some cakes, rulers and so on to relatives or some acquaintances.
"Well, everything is ready as you said." Wen Qiwen ordered the things on the table, and he was relieved to make sure that all the items were not missing.
"Ah Wu, you should help him watch more." Wen's family only had a few children, and the family used to be poor and had no money to send them.But this year, the money is easier and faster, and we should also express something to those who have helped them.
"His place is fine, just send it when you find the time. Uncle and Second Uncle's are not prepared, so we won't send it in the future." Originally, this year's gift was sent during the New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, because the Wen family was still in the filial piety period. It is inconvenient to go to other people's homes during the Chinese New Year.It can only be delivered years ago, but not allowed to enter the door.
For the uncle and the second uncle's family, Wen Qiwen's hatred in his heart is deeper than that of his younger brothers.Because he was a direct victim and was almost sent to be buried.He was young, and although he had a good temper, he was not yet open enough to forgive them.Enduring not doing anything radical is also because of long-term moral constraints.
Zhang Zirui helped arrange the things on the table, and the two of them put away the things first, waiting to bring them when they went to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the inside and outside of the house has been cleaned by diligent Wen Qiwen.Because of the cold weather, the Wen family brothers have not gone up the mountain for a long time.With them at home, Zhang Zirui didn't have to worry about anything, and could devote all his energy to cultivation.Wen Qiwen also took over the matter of teaching the Wen family brothers to read.He knows a lot of characters, so it is still possible to teach a few younger ones.
In this world, Zhang Zirui has never seen anyone with spiritual roots, so he can basically assume that people in this world should not have spiritual roots, so there should be no cultivators in this world.But this world is full of aura, and it is estimated that there will be treasures of heaven and earth in the mountains.Thinking of this, it's hard for him, a half-assed cultivator who has never seen Tiancaidibao, not to be excited.I wish I could recover my health as soon as possible and enter the mountain as soon as possible.At this time, Houshan was like a treasure house to him.
The brothers of the Wen family were very sensible, knowing that Zhang Zirui wanted to recover as soon as possible, so they didn't bother him to practice.Even the Pingan brothers, who love to cling to Zhang Zirui the most, only cling to him to listen to stories after he finishes his cultivation.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang's family and Wen's family made an appointment to watch the New Year's Eve together at night.However, since the heaven, the earth and the ancestors have to be sacrificed, the sacrifices and meals are still prepared by each family.
There is a strong New Year flavor in the village, and every family has changed their door couplets, and some people even posted door gods on their doors.For those with better conditions, festive red lanterns were hung at the door.Life is not easy for the people in the village, so they take this opportunity to reward themselves throughout the year.Every household has cut meat, more or less prepared peanuts, melon seeds, and some even prepared pastries and sugar.
Although the Wen family still had the white couplet posted, the Zhang family had already posted a festive couplet.Because I didn't have pens and ink at home, I still bought this couplet in the town.Zhang Zirui felt that the font on it was very neat, but lacked style, and he couldn't write it well.
Zhang Zirui recalled the scene of the Chinese New Year in the past.There are no relatives in the family, and every year, he and his grandfather stand alone at a large table with endless dishes.Watching the New Year's Eve at night is also deserted. If it weren't for the lively voice of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV, it would probably be even more deserted.But this year is different, there are more family members.
Affected by the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, on New Year's Eve, Zhang Zirui rolled up his sleeves and took the children with him, and cooked a table of dishes by himself, including braised fish, braised chicken, crispy meat, egg rolls and so on.The scent wafted far away, making the two Pingan brothers who were helping their elder brother prepare meals for the sacrifice at home very greedy.
Fortunately, after the sacrifice, the two families would join together to eat and watch the new year, so they held back.
After preparing the meals, Zhang Zirui lit the guide incense, burned the guide money, and took the ancestors home for dinner.Zhang Zirui used the bodies of the Zhang family, and sacrificed to the ancestors of the Zhang family, as well as the birth mother of Young Master Zhang and First Young Master Zhang.Although he doesn't know if the ancestors of the Zhang family in another world can receive it, he also sacrifices it.
After the sacrifice, Zhang Zirui moved the food to the main room of the Wen family.Wen Qiwu looked at the meals he cooked, and felt very ashamed that Bi Gefu cooked them himself.Although his culinary skills are getting better, he is not good enough compared to his brother-in-law.
The family ate happily, and Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu cleaned up the dishes of each house.Wen Qiwu brought up the pastries, candies, melon seeds, and peanuts prepared at home.He also carefully took out a small bag of tea.Although it is only a small bag, the tea is a precious commodity here.
"Brother, thank you for taking care of us all the time. We will remember your kindness in our hearts. You and my elder brother are like our elders. Although this is not good tea, it is also a little bit of my heart." Always talk less Wen Qiwu said a lot of things in a rare and emotional way.
Wen Qiwen went home and brought the coarse porcelain tea set, made a pot of tea, and poured a cup for Zhang Zirui.
"Awu, we are a family, so don't be so polite." Although Zhang Zirui's body is only small, it is not much bigger than them.But in his last life, he was a man of three years, so he could be their father.After his grandfather died, he was always alone. Now that he had relatives again, he admitted to accepting them. He took care of the Wen family brothers as children.
"Brother Rui, if it weren't for you, my brother and sister and I wouldn't know what would happen now." Wen Qiwen was the most touched by Zhang Zirui's kindness to them.If it weren't for Zhang Zirui, I don't know if the brothers and sisters could be together now.Leaving him alone, Ah Wu and the others don't know what will happen.And what Zhang Zirui did for him was more than what any husband-in-law of any family did for his wife.Zhang Zirui considered them everywhere, took care of them, and accommodated them.
"Families should take care of each other." Zhang Zirui lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wen Qiwen and his brothers. "Come and try it too."
The two of Ping An have never drunk tea, it smells very fragrant, so be careful
