[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

In the countryside, even if you don't go up the mountain, you still have endless work to do.Not to mention in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the solar terms of this season are hovering between the grain of ear and the summer solstice. Just looking at the words, you can know that the grain of ear is naturally busy planting, haha, yes, this May, the first half of the month is basically in the Summer harvest and summer sowing are busy.In the second half of the month, when the summer solstice comes, drainage becomes the main work of every household.So Jiao Yufeng couldn't say that he couldn't go up the mountain, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.On the other hand, he kept nagging: It’s so hard to see that there is no rain today, so why don’t you hurry up and sort out the small river.

"Our oak trees are still planted late. If I had known this earlier, I had planted the fruit trees in the yard and the flowers and plants at the gate last year. Then the leaves can be used now. By the end of the year, silk may be produced. It's a pity that this year's free time was wasted."

One by one, the men went to the small river to clean up the river and cultivate the trees by the river.Aunt Wang next door brought her little grandson to Jiao Yufeng's house with a sewing dustpan.This is what Jiao Yufeng asked for a long time ago.In order for Shen, a girl from the city, to integrate into the village as soon as possible, from the day after the banquet in the village, I entrusted Aunt Wang to come over and talk to Shen from time to time, first of all, to talk more about the village The things here, so that she can get acquainted with it as soon as possible, and I came here because I was afraid that no one would be lonely except for the close girl after marrying, and I also wanted to help Shen's open up this interpersonal relationship.Anyway, with Aunt Wang, at least there would be no one to talk to in the whole village.

From this point of view, Jiao Yufeng is still a thoughtful and considerate person, and this is different from the thoughtfulness of men in this era, coupled with Shen's own wishes, and Aunt Wang's guidance, this is what I said earlier. The Shen family who worked hard to integrate into this family.Today's Shen Shi, if someone from outside, take a rough look, I'm afraid no one will think that this is a maid who was still struggling in the palace a month ago.A simple silver hairpin holds her hair, and the muslin clothes only have simple embroidery. No matter how you look at it, she looks like a wealthy family in the countryside.

"I've also heard that the leaves of this oak tree can also raise silkworms, but I don't know how it is different from those in Jiangnan. I heard that this tussah silk doesn't seem to be very valuable?"

"Indeed, we are in the north after all, and the wind is not as soft as that in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, the silk that comes out is not as smooth as that over there, but silk is silk after all, and there are always third-class weaves. If you don't want to pick up the other It's not very decent, it's always okay to make silk quilts directly. Such things, even if they are sent to rich and powerful families, are not worth the money of the young and old, at least they are better than digging in the ground."

This is the truth, although tussah silk is not good enough for weaving, it is really practical to make silk quilts, and the price is even better. As far as Shen knows, it seems that it is not less than 20 taels. After such a calculation, even her heart is moved , I couldn't help but wonder if I followed suit.

Don't look at her dowry, which seems to be quite a lot, but after all, it's just a one-shot deal, no amount of it can sit still, right?According to what her aunt said, a woman must have some living money in her hand to live a happy life.Now she only has the dowry field of ten acres of land, so what's the use of that?

"This silkworm farming...is it easy to learn?"

"You want to learn? That's a good relationship. I'm also a novice, and I'm just starting to think about it. You know a lot, and you may be faster than me if you learn together. Then I'll borrow it all."

"Ma'am, haven't you done it before?"

"Before? How could there be such a kung fu? In the past, there were no cattle in the family, and all the work was done by oneself. There were few acres. I was busy with this mouth every day. I was not digging wild vegetables, or digging things into the mountains. How could I have the time to go to the mountains? Think about this craft. Not to mention that raising silkworms like this requires a clean house and cleaning every day, and even asking for some silkworm eggs will cost extra money. If it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be a waste of money? Naturally, I dare not do it. But now, although the family has more fields and more work, they are full of food every day, their strength has grown, and they have cattle for work. They are not afraid of spending so much. Now that I’ve lost my money, I thought about tossing about this. Well, that’s what ordinary people say, the waist is straight, haha, I always thought in my heart, what if it’s done? That time, even if it’s not much, just relying on buying silkworm cocoons, three or five There are always two, then I will look good, at least buy a few more good things for my grandson, I can make the decision, can't I. Save the old man

My eyes hurt from picking things up.Ha ha. "

Aunt Wang is a straightforward person, even when she was talking about the gossip of these parents, she still said it with full momentum, Shen couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, she couldn't continue the embroidery work in her hand.

"Ever since I came to the village, the smiles have been as many as in previous years in the palace. Auntie, no matter how much I go on, I'm worried. My teeth should be gone before they reach thirty."

Without Jiao Yufeng and his son, Shen talked to Aunt Wang more and more relaxed, and rarely joked along with her. Hearing Aunt Wang's sense of accomplishment, her heart moved, and she couldn't help gossiping:

"Speaking of which, the palace is really..."

Just halfway through speaking, she saw Shen's expression stunned for a moment, and Aunt Wang stopped her mouth quickly, then slapped her mouth lightly, and then continued:

"Look at me, people like us can talk nonsense about things in this palace. I shouldn't ask, I shouldn't ask, Jiao's daughter-in-law, you have the right to pretend you didn't hear it."

"Ma'am, I know you care about me... let's not talk about it, my aunt is right. She said that this place is a good place for outstanding people and a good place to live in peace. It’s more comfortable in the house. It’s spacious, it’s convenient to eat and drink, and the neighbors are harmonious.”

Shen simply put down her needle and thread, brought a cup of tea to Aunt Wang, praised her softly, and changed the subject, but this was because she was very anxious when she got married, and she was afraid that her fate and her body would cause her to lose her. , was rejected by others.But when she really became a member of this family, she knew that there is still such a way of life for people in this world.The husband is considerate and takes care of the stepson. . .Although they are not close, they are not repulsive, polite and gentle, and get along well.And the neighbors, there are no gossips, ridicules and ridicules, which gave her a rare kind of peace and quiet.

"The most important thing is, this man is capable, and the child is filial, right? I said, daughter-in-law of the Jiao family, you, don't blame me for talking now, you are really lucky to have entered this old Jiao's house, secretly Laugh. Earlier, for the sake of Jiao Dalang’s marriage, ouch, you didn’t know that the matchmakers from all over the world almost broke their legs to make peace, even the ladies of the officials’ families. What is it? Isn’t it Jiao Dalang? It’s not someone’s man who can collect enough money to buy land and build a house in a year or two. It’s not like everyone can be favored by the Duke of the State. It's not like everyone can walk freely among the wealthy yamen, this Jiao Dalang..."

Aunt Wang is definitely Jiao Chui, and when it comes to Jiao Yufeng's ability, she really wants to say it three times a day, that's right, whoever's next door has a high-end talent, I'm afraid she can't control her mouth, not with You Rong After a while, you all feel that you are out of grade, right?

It's just that today's Jiao Chui is not at the right time. Before Shen could habitually laugh, there was a burst of shouting from outside.

"Hey, what happened?"

"There are a lot of people who are listening to the shouting, let's go and have a look."

What's wrong?Of course something happened.Have you forgotten?The fugitive in the mountains?Yes, at this moment, the fugitive appeared, of course he was not that stupid, he just appeared in the village in broad daylight, but very cautiously, he threw a hornet's nest wrapped in ragged clothes into the village Among the crowd, he obviously wanted to use this to attract people's attention, and to be a pioneer for himself to enter the village and steal some useful things.

It's a pity that although the thing that attracted people's attention here was completed, his business of entering the village to steal was not smooth, so he touched a small courtyard that looked very impressive. A burst of dog barking stopped him, which made his expression change instantly.

Why did he forget that in this rural area, the dog is probably the most indispensable thing in every household, but isn't it daytime?Why didn't the dog go out?The situation is wrong. . .The wind wolf measured his body, carefully climbed up the wall, covered it with the gap of the eaves, and probed slightly. Before anyone entered, he found that the yard was wrong. The main house seemed to be unoccupied, but the upside down There is a vague figure in the place, but the clothes. . .No, this is probably the Zhuangzi of some kind of big family, the owner doesn't live here all the year round, this is not a good choice.

wind

The wolf knew that in a situation like his, it was best to leave without anyone noticing, otherwise the work of covering up the traces along the way would be for nothing, and it would be easy for the chaser to find his whereabouts.So the very decisive Wind Wolf immediately walked away from the house, and quickly selected a family on the side.

Well, this Fenglang's judgment is really correct, because the first place he went to was Mrs. Jiao, and even the servants basically joined Jiao Yufeng's place. To be honest, even if this Fenglang went in, it would be nothing. reward.silver?How much money can a few servants who have just arrived have?clothes?Would he want the servant's coarse cloth?food?Hehe, the kitchen was basically empty, so it was useless for him to go.

Just one over here. . .He saw someone coming out of this yard, so he thought there would be something to gain in this yard, right?It's a pity, there are indeed people in this yard, and there are no dogs barking, but whose house did he choose?Jiao Yufeng's family, maybe there is no one else in the family, they are all working outside, but Jiao Shibo is here.After all, he is still a child, there are canals and trees outside, such heavy work does not use the reason for such a child, and he does not like to mess around with those children of the same age, so naturally, he became an otaku, Hiding in the house to watch it.

I don't think this should be a good boy's habit, but this trip has caused him trouble. If he doesn't pay attention, he hears a soft sound that shouldn't be there. Sometimes it's not a good thing to be sincere when your ears are too strong. I heard it You said, with Jiao Shibo's courage, why don't you hurry up and check it out?And this inspection, hey, such a milk baby met such a vicious fugitive, what a result. . .

"Boy, be smart and hurry up, give the silver to Grandpa, and find a suit of clothes, yes, that's it, slow down, don't make a sound, Master is not a good person, he has no habit of not killing children."

I don't know where to find a rusty hatchet and put it on Jiao Shibo's neck. The wind wolf pushed him all the way to the main room. Perhaps it was because Jiao Shibo was a child, a seven-year-old baby, and his heart was full of fear. Some didn't pay enough attention to it, but their eyes still had time to scan around, and when they saw the decorations in the house, they were still chattering, presumably because they were very satisfied with the financial situation of this family.

Satisfied, the voice that spoke to Jiao Shibo was a little brisk.

"Boy, your family is not bad. This is good. I am also a fastidious person. I won't go too far if I get your family's favor. You have saved your life. It's just that your eyes...see what you shouldn't see." If you see it, you are unlucky."

Jiao Shibo's heart turned cold when he said this, hehe, is it a gift to want to blind him?This bandit is really shameless.It's a pity, he just met the old Jiao's family, it's not that simple, can he treat Jiao Shibo as a soft persimmon?That's why he came in so obediently. . .Because he can fight back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn around and enter the inner room, Jiao Shibo squatted down abruptly, sprinted forward in a somersault, quickly opened the distance from the wind wolf, and conveniently moved the jujube spring stool next to the dressing table in the house He picked it up and threw it directly at the wind wolf.

From the beginning of this book, we have said that there is one very practical benefit in the benefits of the father and son, that is, the physical fitness of the two fathers and sons is more than twice that of ordinary people, not only stronger than others, but also With six senses, reaching out is more sensitive than others.Therefore, certain actions that ordinary children cannot do are actually not difficult for the Focus Expo.

The fact is true, but it was a dazzling time, Jiao Shibo had already started to fight back, and this was obviously beyond the expectation of the wind wolf, and he is not a ruthless character, in such a situation He quickly made the most beneficial reaction for himself, advancing instead of retreating, and after dodging the spring stool's blow sideways, he stabbed forward with the hatchet in his hand.

The meaning is obvious, he wants to deal with this child in an instant, lest the child yell, attract others, and make his calculations come to nothing. Unfortunately, he patronized Jiao Shibo, but he didn't pay attention to the back, waiting for the knife to come out When he realized that there seemed to be a figure in the child's eyes, it was too late to withdraw his strength, and the figure reflected in the child's eyes also attacked.

That's Mrs. Shen. After she walked out of the door and saw the men outside taking off their clothes and shirtless one by one in order to beat the wasps, she blushed and thought about it in a hurry.

To hide in the house.But when she didn't want to turn around, she faintly saw the shadow of an adult man in her house, which made her startled for a moment, and then became nervous.

The benefits of coming out of the palace were clearly revealed at this moment, Shen didn't yell out loudly, nor was she too scared to walk, but carefully avoided the possible sight of the people in the room, and started towards the direction of the room lightly. He left, and took a clothes pounding stick from the yard as a weapon in his hand.

Waiting for Jiao Shibo's spring stool to strike violently, she confirmed that the man was a bandit and wanted to hurt her own child. Shen Shi even broke out with rare ferocity, holding up the stick, and pointed at the bandit from behind. He hit his head hard, and while he was beating, he shouted:

"Come here, there are bandits who want to kill brother Gui, his father, come quickly..."

Attacking and yelling at people, Shen did everything quite well. The only thing she didn't expect was the ferocity of this bandit. It was obvious that the knife had already gone out, and she obviously didn't find herself at the beginning, but when she attacked He made a move and shouted, but the man was able to turn the world around with the strength of his waist in an impossible situation. With a sideways turn, he cut the rusty hatchet in an arc, although Jiao Shibo was not injured. , but at the last moment, it happened to land on Shen's arm, who was rushing forward because of the heavy hit, and his center of gravity was unstable.

Blood splattered up, and because of the knife, Shen fell to the ground sideways, but the right hand holding the stick still didn't give up, and forced himself to sit up, and the group suddenly flew towards the wind wolf, By the way, he also grabbed the scissors in the sewing dustpan beside him, handed them forward, and shouted fiercely:

"Let the child go..."

There was no need for her to shout, during this series of ups and downs, Jiao Shibo had already jumped over the dressing table smoothly, and when the wind wolf was dodging the clothes smashing stick, he sped up and rushed to Shen's side, looking at the still With a bleeding arm, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't help shouting:

"mom..."

He has his own mother, so he has been unable to call his stepmother, but now he is willing to call his mother. Although he is not a mother, he is still a mother. This is his respect for this woman who protects him and takes risks for him. respect.

"What do you want? Don't hurt my child. Zhao Quan, old Zhao, hurry up and call the uncle back..."

When Shen Shi heard Jiao Shibo's shout, her body also paused, but this is not the time for emotion, the most important thing is to solve the immediate crisis.Having lived in the palace for many years, and being able to wait until the day she comes out alive, even if it is mostly because of someone protecting her, the tenacity in her nature is also indispensable.

Shen's shouting is still very useful, it is not sharp like her gentle appearance in the past, it has already startled the people outside from the beginning, and her grandfather pushed her to call people early, By this time, the voices outside the yard had already started to become louder and louder.

The wind wolf was very frustrated, and at the same time aroused fierceness. Knowing that he had missed this time, he didn't talk nonsense. The jewelry box on the dressing table was stuffed into his bosom, he held up the knife and shook it at Shen Shi and Jiao Shibo, then rushed to the door quickly, and at the moment Jiao Yufeng rushed in with someone, he quickly jumped to the front door. On the wall by the side of the room, he fled away.

But at this moment, the danger was obviously far away. Shen's spirit suddenly relaxed, and she hit the ground with her buttocks. She watched Jiao Yufeng who came in in a hurry, frowning, and looked worriedly at Jiao Yufeng, who was behind her. The voices of the people shouted repeatedly, and couldn't help stretching out the injured hand, touching the child next to him, and then murmured with a bit of anxiety and reassurance:

"His father..."

Rolling her eyes, she fainted. At the moment of fainting, she seemed to hear the child calling her mother again. . .
